Whuffaoke or Bust: Karaoke on Tour

One of the individuals I was honored to meet and make a friend of when I went out to SXSW a couple of years ago was Alex Hillman. I’ve been following him and his efforts with his coworking initiative taking place in Philadelphia at Independents Hall.

When he kept updating his twitter status about heading all over the place and doing karaoke I was more than curious about to what was going on. After following some links I found out about the Whuff-aoke or Bust tour. Fun stuff happens at SXSW and now Alex has come up with another idea.

The idea was conceived of at SXSW Interactive this year while spending too many hours in the R{VIP} , the karaoke RV that travels from venue to venue in Austin during the interactive and music festivals. Tara turned to Tony and Alex at one point and mused, “My dream is to quit my job and karaoke across America, bringing peace, love and brotherhood with me along the way.” Both Tony and Alex thought that was the BEST idea ever and vowed that, if Tara ever did this, they would join her.

If you’re living in or close to one of the cities they’re coming to on their tour, you should be sure and check them out when they’re close to you. It’s always fun to meet people and karaoke right? The gang with Whuff-aoke is capturing everything live, on twitter and flickr.
